I prefer to get about 8 hours. If I get to sleep by 11:00 pm, I'll get up around 7:00 am.

However, with the darker mornings it is harder to get out of bed.

Less than 7 hours sleep I am not myself at all. I can function, but not as efficiently.

Well, to tell the truth, I seldom get enough sleep. Wish I could.

I like 8 hours at least, but don't always get them.

If I get 6 uninterrupted hours, I'm just great. 8 hours seems to be too much for me -- I stay kind of "foggy" all day.

Five (if I'm lucky) seems to be the right amount for me lately.

Five hours are enaugh for me, I keep my blood clean.
Often four hours are enaugh and every week I can use one night to do this or that without I become tired next day.

Same here, except on those cooler or rainy days I could stay snuggled under the covers until noon, if ever given the opportunity.

As a person working the night shift
sleep takes on an entirely new meaning

I never get enough uninterrupted sleep

Judy, Dwayne used shift workers, for a paper he wrote in school. He picked one district, and sent a questionaire out to each pastor, concerning what the church did to meet the needs of shift workers, as far as worship, etc. was concerned. What prompted this, was that he worked 2nd and 3rd shifts during the week, and switched around to all three on week-ends. So, a big part of the time, I was carrying a baby, a diaper bag, and another young child with me, also, and going to church alone.

Typically, I get 5-6 hours. Other than times when I have been sick, I can't remember the last time I slept 8 hours. I just wake up, ready to go.

Carsten, can you clarify for me "I keep my blood clean." Please. lolUnboiled, uncooked food. Raugh green food. Healing plants. Cold food, not heated food, not pasteurized food. No meat. Fish (omega, essential fats), maybe chicken instead of meat.

This are priorities, principes, I do not follow strictly.
As long I feel well, I am allowed to step over.
Healing plants to any time. Do cost nothing, tasting good in salads.

If possible, no medicines, no chemy. "Back to nature, off from industry food".

I have always needed a good number of hours sleep at night. I used to think I could be John Wesley and get by on four but I discovered just as God made some eyes to need glasses he made some bodies to need sleep. Typically I am in bed by 9:30 and up at 4:30 which is about an hour less than what I need.

6 hours, if I am lucky.
Occasionally it catches up with me and I will sleep about 7 hours.

Often, I only get about 5 hours.
I seldom take a nap during the day.

I try to go to bed about 10 p.m., and am usually up about 4 a.m., and am at the fitness center about 5 a.m. (4 days per week.)

When I was a teenager and into my 20's, I tended to need 8 hours. If I got 9 hours throughout my childhood and teen years, I would have a headache most of the rest of the day.

Since my 30's or so, I've needed only about 7 hours of sleep to be optimum, but I often get only about 6 hours of sleep.

The tension, stress and crowdedness in this household has not allowed me a decent nights sleep since I returned from Arizona June 3, 2006. I need 7-8 hours but I often get 4.5 to 6. There really isn't anything I can do about it I most often retire about 10-11 PM but concerns about my family and their rejection of me and the place I should have that I often do not get to sleep until 12-3 AM or later. I know it is dangerous for me to be driving on my sales but someone has to keep working to support the family needs.

After many years of working the third shift (overnights), I have still not adjusted to sleeping at night all that much.

I sleep about 5 hours at night, and maybe 1 more during the afternoon? Sometimes, that is. I enjoy that 1 hour nap.

I discovered just as God made some eyes to need glasses.What a luck is the Lord my judge and nobody else. Green food is the Lords will to keep or to get a healthy body.

Genesis One verse 29.

No modern science can take off the power of the holy word of the Lord.

Everybody will not accept and will follow modern science like to follow a new goddess must carry the consequences of his own choice.

What a luck is the Lord my judge and nobody else.

Change your mind - and maybe Brad has a chance to alive,
by following only the holy word of the Lord and nothing else.

Modern science can help, but must not.
Healing is hidden in the holy word of the Lord - not in modern science.

I do pray for.
(You as pastors you should know it better!)

Turn your mind.

Forfeit is the beginning of healing.
